Collection of Bentwood Furniture

The MAK owns a one-of-a-kind collection of bentwood furniture made primarily by the Thonet company, as well as by competitors
such as J. & J. Kohn. These exceptional holdings are being studied in collaboration with bentwood researchers of international
repute: following the completion of technical data (dating, place of production and series, bending technique employed) and
artistically relevant information (e.g. design, client), the project is intended to result in an exhibition and a catalog
of the holdings.

MAK Collection

Furniture and Woodwork Collection

Curator: Sebastian Hackenschmidt

The MAK is home to an extensive collection of furniture and woodwork, in light of which the artistic and stylistic tendencies
of furniture historywith a focus on Austria and Viennacan be understood along with the cultural-historical and
political developments of the past nearly 150 years. The collection encompasses over 4,600 objects ranging from small carvings
and ornamental boxes to massive cabinets and whole room interiors.
